Converts an integer price and price type into an Ascii string (like sprintf). Has awareness of instrument-specific price formatting, like for bonds. Allows commas and space-padding.
#define cszNxCorePriceFormat "sNxCorePriceFormat"
typedef int (__stdcall *NxCorePriceFormat) (char* szBuff, int lPrice, unsigned char PriceType, int expandWidth/*=0*/, bool bCommas/*=false*/);
int PriceFormat(
char* szBuff,
int lPrice,
unsigned char PriceType,
int expandWidth=0,
bool bCommas=false
);
Parameters
szBuffer
Address of a character buffer that will be filled with the formatted text. Make sure the length of the buffer is at least 256 bytes.
Price
Integer representing the price to format.
PriceType
The PriceType that Price is using.
expandWidth
Set to a non-zero value to pad the buffer so that it is at leaset expandWidth characters in length.
bInsertCommas
Set to 1 to format the price using commas to separate thousands.
Return Value
Returns length of the formatted string in szBuff.
Here's an example of converting a price/priceType to a double
